and the husband of one of my nieces said that he was fascinated by my British use of the cutlery. He travels a lot. I told him it was merely culture and that the Chinese have the last laugh at meetings since they don’t give a shit which knife, fork or spoon is for what. He said he was going to learn to use chopsticks just for some fun.
